Mkvmlinuz fails to create bootable image for kernel 2.6.18 on Motorola
PReP.
After installing package linux-image-prep and
linux-image-2.6.18-6-prep as dependence,
bootable image was not created.
Program /usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.18-6-prep/addnote
was not found and mkvmlinuz exit with error.
I made link to /usr/lib/mkvmlinuz/addnote and tried to install
linux-image-2.6.18-6-prep again.
Mkvmlinuz fails to create bootable image without any error messages.
Creating bootable image possible only by explicit invoking mkvmlinuz as
described in mkvmlinuz manpage.
